Combat Paddles- Kelowna, BC

Combat Paddles is one of the most recognized names in the Pickleball equipment market. We helped CPB get set up with their international website and store, converting their old squarespace site into a fully functioning WordPress and Woocommerce online E-Commerce site. Visitors can see the latest in the paddle technologies and then choose to purchase any of their items easily through the store.

HDD Bid – Can, USA

HDD Bid is a website for heavy equipment and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment on auction from all over the world, but primarily for the US and Canada at the moment. This is one of the more technical and larger projects we have done. (See Goodfoodbox below as well).

HDDBid wanted a way for anyone to come along and browse the listings, and then choose to create an account to bid on equipment they need. If a user would like to actually post their equipment for auction they simple register for a “vendor” account on the site. The admins of the site have the ability to approve or deny the vendor applications to vette all sellers beforehand.

Once they become a vendor on the site, they then have the ability to submit equipment for auction via an online submission form that includes the ability to attach images of the equipment along with all the other details, including a reserve price and starting price. They then pay for that submission as they complete the form. Proxy bidding allows buyers to place a bid at the maximum they wish to spend, and when another buyer bids higher, they system can automatically place another bid for the first, up until the maximum proxy limit they specify.

Once the auction is won, the buyer is linked to pay their buyers premium (auction fees) and once completed, the buyer and the seller are emailed each others information so they can conclude the payment-transaction to take possession of the machine.

One of our most interesting and largest projects to date, it’s been really cool to build this site for HDD Bid.

Proglass Marine – Vernon, BC

The owners of Proglass Marine were not happy with their previous developer/hosting so they contacted us. We were able to recover their domain name and their previous data. We used the old data to add a very small amount of inspiration, along with new input from PGM to re-design and build their all new website just in time for the summer boating season! A nice full width take along with a cool services page that shuffles down to the different sections on the page.

Izba Bistro – Port Coquitlam, BC

Due to a hosting provider/developer disappearing and no way to get in contact, this establishment actually lost their domain name AND all their website data! We helped them get back online by registering the .ca for their domain name (izbabistro.ca) and then found an archive of what their old website looked like online. We were able to rebuild their site loosely based on their old design while making it all new again. We had them up and going in just a matter of a couple days. Another example of a “website rescue” by Vernon Websites!

The Good Food Box – North Okanagan

So far, this is our crowning achievement. Our proudest moment. Our biggest and most complicated project to date, The Good Food Box of the North Okanagan came to us asking if we could help rescue their on going (very stressful) website project. To make a very long story short, we took the reins and completely re-made the site so that it is far easier to edit and maintain. We removed or installed alternative plugins to save thousands of dollars per year in licensing costs. The organization can now accept online ordering from not only regular customers, but also agencies around the area. Very robust shipping options including pickup orders from multiple locations, as well as delivery to special user accounts and agencies. The GFB went from processing hundreds of orders manually by hand, to now having the ability to take a limitless amount due to the automation of this new site. We also donated a LOT of time to this project to support the GFB and our local community. Vernon Websites is very proud and happy to give back when we can! If you are in the North Okanagan, we urge you to check out the GFB site and make your order today!

Vernon Placer Miners Club

We like to support not-for-profit organizations as much as possible. In fact we are members of the club. The Vernon Placer Miners Club had a website that was not getting the attention it needed, so we stepped in and created a whole new website and also provide updates to their news and web pages as needed.

Hemp 4 Tails & Hemp and Body Co. – Kelowna, BC

Formerly Hemp 4 Paws, we assisted in migrating their business and website into the new Hemp 4 Tails…. They previously had a website with GoDaddy they made with the builder program available there, but they realized they were out-growing what Godaddy could do for them. They wanted to be able to do more robust things and have more freedom with what they do on their site. We completely rebuilt a WordPress website for them based on the Godaddy site appearance, including an online store that handles all their sales! We also re-made their Hempandbodyco.ca website in the same way!

Spidex All Terrain Excavating -Vernon, BC

Spidex was being “held captive” with a Wix website made with their proprietary website builder software. When a website is made at Wix (or Godaddy, Squarespace, Shopify etc) with a proprietary builder, you will find yourself locked in to that service without any chance to move it or grow beyond it. While it is better to just start off on the right foot with an industry standard website built on WordPress, we were happy to take on the challenge of freeing them from the restrictions of Wix. They liked some aspects of the appearance of their Wix site, so we made a whole new WordPress website with some of those elements, but ultimately came out with a final result of not only a much nicer site, but a more fully enabled Google Search engine ranked site that is getting them more views than they ever had before.

Armstrong Wine & Brew Ltd. – Armstrong, BC

Armstrong Wine and Brew called us because their old website was made by a designer that left the business and they didn’t know how to move from theold site that wasn’t really working for her anymore. We completely converted the old site into a new WordPress site and then added in a really great online store that allows them to serve their customers near and far!
